I've recently though about wanting to become an occupational therapist (It's been about 7-ish months.) And I just love the idea of helping others and making a positive impact on someone else's life. For me personally, I'm the kind of person who wants to be known for doing good to others and I guess just want to think of myself as "useful" in any way I can. Having a job that not only helps people, but also pays enough to be able to support me financially is a win-win in my book. I'm aware I don't FULLY understand everything about being an OT or an OTA, but that's the whole point of learning I suppose.
Oh godddd 😭😂same here
Same exact idea
couldnt agree more
I agree! Any update on your thoughts on being an OT?
Im the Only Guy in our OT class, how can i communicate with the women here😢
I just started school for this field. I feel right choosing this path. This is my chance to help others somehow.
That's excellent, lovely choice. 🙏👍
I’m getting this therapy. I have adhd. I’m 19 year old woman and finally I’m getting help. I have been failing school, work everything.
i didn’t know a program existed for adhd! wow. i would like to look into that. i’m happy for you! I’m almost 30 and I’ve never gotten help only recently learned I have it. Really glad to see the younger generation getting help sooner. Keep your head up babe you got this! 💗
@moonschein x How did you find out that you have it.
I am a home health care occupational therapist. I am very frustrated by my employer. My employer says that bathing is an activity of daily living and if a patient requests a bath I must bathe them. I maintain that occupational therapy is a teaching profession and not a service providing profession and that if something happens to the patient while I am bathing them I would be liable for working outside the parameters of my licensure. My employer says I must do the job as told or I will be terminated. I would like to find a different job, but times are tight.
Sue, find similar cases get the right info and sue the hell outta them. they're in the wrong and they can cost you your license! On top of that they are threatening you! Best of luck
@@adrianawashere1 I walked out.
Good luck with your situation!
Find a lawyer, my husband graduated as an O.T but never had his license, I know for a fact its not your Job.
@@1tylerose What are you doing now? I’m considering OT so would love to have an update about how things are going
I am going for pursuing a career in OT after 12th.
Thank you. I'm going to start occupational therapy for elhers danlos syndrome and I didn't exactly understand it.
Hey OT Lifehacker here! it’s so wonderful that you are taking time to learn about it! Good job taking charge of your own care and health!
@@ot_lifehacker I don't know how to respond but thank you for thanking me 😂
Hope to work in the Center of rehab as an occupational therapist. Here in Korea I 'am asking myself what to do and really want to find the role of

I hope everything is working out

@@kurtb5624 can you say more about it? Why it's a best decision?
@@insomniaccinderella9416sehun what are you doing here?? 😭
Welp i always want to learn this
Best choice of my life
I forget everything after a physiotherapist pushed on my head. Been 9 months. Been in the hospital like 18 times and have severe head pain. I can’t even see properly.
Infest for two years
What you just said is everything what a physiotherapist does ! I'm still not understanding the concept of occupationional therapy as the name suggests OT's are more inclined in giving,teaching,training patients with alternative methods to work in their occupation due to their disability etc...They do see alot of neuro related cases among others.Someone explain me if I'm wrong or partly correct
It’s all about common sense, which is not so common anymore 😮
So nice to know. Thank you.
Thank you for doing this!!!!
👍👍👍

Occupational therapy for a TBI? I suffered a serious TBI and they sent me to OT but it seemed a bit silly and very basic. Counting money, identifying pictures, words and memory tests......At the end of the day, you ether get better or you dont.
I have doubt is occupational therapy and physiotherapy same
❤️
Boom, i found my currier. Yes!!!
👍👍👍

same
I think I have an occult hernia
O/T's in England are termed Occupational Terrorists as thier primary job is too report you to te Driving standards agency to deny you your licence. I learnt the hardway. I had been taking the same meds for 20 years, and driving without any incident or accident for 20 years. As soon as I got reffered to an O/T she reported after I had told her on several occasions that I was able to drive and for the past 20 years had done so without any issues to the DVLA and they took my licence aways from me! I had to go to court where at least the judge agreed with me and rebuked the pedantic O/T! DO not get involved with an O/T. They are like the seceret police.
👍👍👍
Unfortunately had a similar experience in a rehabilitation center after knee replacement, two and a half weeks after doing my personal care without any help, she made me shower and dress while she was observing and ticking boxes 😮 found it very degrading, and felt more in a concentration camp rather than rehab centre……if I denied the assessment, she was not going to approve my driving licence! Yes shower assessment to drive !
No cursingthanku
Not really a worth it career to get into. If you're working in a rehab facility, it's all about profits and productivity over actual patient care. Not worth it. You will get burned out.
Do you work in OT? I'm interested in doing it as a postgraduate course in Ireland but it is very expensive. I want to help others but your comment has me questioning that now
Is it good or not 😊
THIS DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHAT OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY IS
holy fucking shit buzzwords after buzzwords
nobody can actually tell you what the fuck OT is or does
👍👍👍
